I love this time of year. Spring football is in full swing and Chris Miles of CMDesigns knocks out another incredible 2015 Linfield Football CPU Wallpaper. This is the 4th schedule that Chris as designed for us (2014 Wallpaper, 2013 Wallpaper and 2012 Wallpaper,) and once again does a masterful job in capturing the spirit of Linfield Football. That's probably because Chris is a former Linfield Wildcat defensive lineman ('04) and knows what it means to be a Wildcat in our core. I've said it before but Chris is huge talent and if you need graphic design work you couldn't find a better individual. CMDesign is located in McMinnville but Chris can help you out wherever you might be located with logo design, media guides, web development, brochures, business cards, ect. The list in ways CMDesign can help your business or a personal event is endless. (Visit CMDesign on the web).

The other HUGE piece of this project is the selflessness of the wonderful photographers who donated the player photos for Chris to use. These three people have helped myself and Linfield College on countless endeavors and make a huge difference in capturing the spring of Linfield athletics. Linfield professor Brad Thompson donated the photos of Sam Riddle (#10), Tavon Willis (#7), Bryan Cassell (#21), Sam Robinson (#1), and the group tackle up top. Rusty Rae is a professional photographer and Linfield graduate who also generously contributed the following photos: Kennedy Johnson (#6), Alex Hoff (#55), and Spencer Payne (#28). Long time Linfield Sports Information Director, Kelly Bird, who is one of the very best in the business provided the photo of Jacob Hanke (#73). Thank you to all three of you and every other photographer who has every been kind enough to help us out on our endevors in covering the 'Cats!

Again, a major thank you to Chris Miles and CMDesign for the fantastic Poster/CPU Wallpaper. If you're looking for a graphic artist to help with an ad campaign, creating brand imaging, or even a slick T-Shirt, Chris is the right person for the job.

Why "ADvantage Catdome"

I’ve had a number of people ask me why the blog is called ADvantage Catdome. So instead of repeating the explanation over and over, I thought I would just lay it out here.

Back in 1986 my father took me to my very first Linfield game, the final regular season game vs. Pacific (Linfield would roll the Boxers on their way to their 3rd NAIA title). I was 10 years old at the time and I can remember seeing these banners the pep squad/students have hung up on the fences around the Catdome. They read “We have the ADvantage”.

I pulled on my dad’s shirt and asked him what that meant. He pointed to the coaches box in the far back of Memorial stadium and said “You see that man there? That’s Coach Rustchman. He’s Linfield’s advantage.”

It wasn't until later that my dad told me Coach Rustchman’s first name was “Ad”. Get it now? Good. Go ‘Cats!
